"IS THAT SO?" Littlefinger waved her over, "Come. Sit with us."

Raya looked over her shoulder at Arya, who nodded her head in Littlefinger's direction. They walked past the guards, but not without Arya bumping the shoulder of the shortest one. Raya stood a few inches away and let her gaze rest on Sansa. She seemed to have matured in the months that they had been apart.

"What are you doing so far from King's Landing?" Littlefinger asked.

"Sansa what are you doing here with him?" Arya asked. At the sound of Arya's voice, Sansa's eyes shifted up to look at her younger sister.

"Arya," she mumbled, surprise evident in her voice.

"Sansa," Arya teased with a smile.

Tears began to flood Sansa's eyes as she stood up to embrace her younger sister. Arya wrapped her arms around Sansa's waist as she relaxed into her sister's embrace.

"I missed you so much," Sansa said, smiling into Arya's shoulder.

"I missed you too," And after a moment she said, "You're squeezing me."

"Sorry," Sansa said as she pulled away. She wiped a tear and looked at Raya with a smile.

"Hi," she said shyly.

"Hi," Raya replied. She could tell that Sansa had changed very much. There was an air of confidence around her, but all that seemed to disappear when she saw Raya.

"Well," Littlefinger said clapping his hands together, "This has been quite the reunion."

Raya leaned against the table as she narrowed her eyes at Littlefinger, "Why did you help Sansa?"

He chuckled at the question, his eyes flickering from Sansa and Arya to Raya, "What kind of question is that?"

"I'm not a stupid girl that doesn't know how you work. I've seen you manipulate, play the game. You wouldn't help Sansa unless there was something in it for you," Raya looked at Sansa, "You don't have to go with him Sansa."

"And where will I go with you? Back to King's Landing?" Sansa asked. There was no bite to the question, but Raya still felt a stab from the words.

"We're going to go North, Sansa," Arya told her, "We could go home."

Sansa rolled her eyes, "We're never going back to Winterfell."

"I wasn't talking about Winterfell, I was talking about the North. That's our home. I'd rather be there, than down here where our enemies are tripled."

"Arya's right," Raya spoke, "We need to get you two to the Wall. Jon will keep you both safe."

Sansa's baby blues looked conflicted as she looked at Raya. She knew she had to gain Sansa's trust again, but she hoped that she would just trust her on this.
